I wished. If all women suddenly stopped being sexist, even just being sexist to the detriment of women, that would already be a huge step towards a fairer world. But getting a grip on ones prejudices (even those one knows to be wrong by being a counter example, and even those that bite oneself) is lots harder than it should be.

I'm not particularly happy with myself when I catch myself thinking of someone else as their stereotype, the only consolation is that it beats not even noticing when you do it. Because when I notice, I can kick myself and tell me sternly "don't do that". :}
